Fall trend #1: Menswear inspired clothing

All of the dresses and shoes in this blog can be found at ModCloth.com.

The first fall trend we would like to cover is menswear inspired women's clothing. This first dress is very pretty and womanly yet still has a part of it that reflects a menswear suit. The top part of the dress is similar to that of a blazer and dress shirt. The whole thing being a solid navy blue also is similar to that of a men's suit. The way it flows however, makes it still very feminine. It is great for the working girl who wants to look professional as well as chic. It is also affordable as well, which makes it even better!

The second dress is also very cute and has a feminine touch with the flower added to it. It resembles a mens suit as well and could be worn to work or out. Thats something that makes this dress so good. It is something that is a good dress for all ages whether you are 18 or 38. It's flattering and professional while still flirty and cute. It could easily take you from a day at the office to a dinner date. Like all of the other pieces it is trendy and affordable which is always the best combination to find.

           This next dress is obviously very menswear inspired. The top is that of a dress shirt while the bottom resembles that of pants in a suit. The ruffles shoulders and pink hue make it girly as well. This outfit is something that we think would flatter any body type with the high waistline and long black skirt. The whole dress itself is very sophisticated and stylish. It's perfect for a job or college interview or a day at the office. You still look professional without looking washed out.

The fourth dress is the most casual out of all these looks. It can be worn on an everyday basis as well as dressed up. It brings in many elements of menswear. The fabric is that of a dress shirt and with the collar and buttons is clearly reflects that. The colors bring in a business suit element. This dress is very modern and trendy as well as casual and fun. It's something that we think can be worn outside of the work place as well as inside.

This is our final dress and my(Madison's) personal favorite.  We love the idea of a business suit fabric being made into such a feminine dress. The corset like top is very cute and the dress as a whole would complement any body type. We also love how they brought in the green in the sides and straps as well as added the belt to tie it all together. This dress is perfect for just about anything. A day out with your friends or a business meeting. It's very stylish yet still very classy.

Next is shoes. All of which are menswear inspired with their own feminine twist. We chose these 5 pair of shoes because we thought they best represented what a menswear inspired shoe really is.  They all interestingly combine both mens and womens shoe styles to make a super trendy shoe that any woman would want to wear.

Finally, here are our two favorite celebrity menswear inspired looks. These two celebs have recently been spotted out in the growing trend and we absolutley love their looks.

First it's Blake Lively in  menswear inspired pants and shoes. We love how she combined these with soft colors and accessories to make it very flirty and feminine. Her look is so versitle and chic. Way to go Blake!

The other star is Carrie Underwood.  We love the way she combined the tie,blazer,and pinstripe shorts. The look is super cute and girly while clearly menswear inspired. We love how both Blake and Carrie's looks are so fun and trendy.

So that's our take on the menswear trend. If you have any questions or want advice please comment! Keep checking up for other fall trends that will send you back to school in style!
